Fences around electric
substations are there for
good reason: to keep
people and animals
away from possible
harm. The high voltage
equipment inside the
fence is not there to
play w ith — it means
business. Better safe
than sorry.

Black United Front pickets the Walnut Park Theatre every Saturday to protest "porno" fair. The
protest is scheduled to continue until the theatre’s absentee owners agree to provide better class of
production.

U n io n and A lb e r ta , fin d s its e lf
b e in g p ic k e te d by a c o m m u n ity
o rg a n iz a tio n . T h is is n o t the fir s t
tim e th a t c o m m u n ity c o m p la in ts
have been vo ice d at W a ln u t P a rk
fo r the type o f movies th a t is being
show n and the n e ig h b o rh o o d th a t
they are being shown in.
R o n n ie H e rd o n , co -ch a irm a n o f
th e B la c k U n ite d F r o n t, gave th e
fo llo w in g reasons fo r p ic k e tin g .
“ W e th in k th a t th is is one o f th e
worst examples o f the way the Black
c o m m u n ity is being e x p lo ite d . The
theatre shows the kin d o f movies on
a m a in stre e t we d o n ’ t need. T h e
theatre is ju s t using this co m m u n ity
fo r its ow n selfish purposes. We say
the fo rm a t o f the theatre ought to be
ch anged to show m o v ie s th a t are
p o s itiv e ad th o se film s th a t
p o sitive ly reflect on the Black co m ­
m u n ity .” H e rn d o n responded to a
q u e stio n re g a rd in g the F ro n t s k ip ­
p in g o f here and th e re on issues.
“ T h a t w o u ld be tru e i f we w eren’ t
s till w o r k in g on a ll th o se o th e r
issues. N o w the c o m m u n ity has a
m iddle school. Before the F ro n t got
involved there was no m iddle school
and forced one-way bussing. In the
area o f the police, because o f a suit
file d last year, the P o rtla n d P olice
D epartm ent w ill ce rta in ly be fo u n d
g u ilty o f d iscrim in a tio n . We are s till
p ro v id in g a p olice h o tlin e and get­
tin g p eople in to u c h w ith la w ye rs.
N ow rem em ber a ll those areas s till
need w o rk and we are s till w o rk in g
o n th e m . Just because yo u are in ­
volved in other issues, doesn’ t mean
th a t y o u c a n 't q u e s tio n a w ro n g ,
because we as a c o m m u n ity , are ex­
p lo ite d by m any d iffe re n t people in
m any d iffe re n t ways.”
J e ff C ra p o , an e m p lo y e e o f the
W a ln u t P ark Theatre stated that the
F ro n t’ s activities have h u rt business.
‘ W hen th e y ’ re here, we get 2 o r 3 "
people an h o u r, w ncico» o v.w .v .ve
c o u ld get 5 to 20 p e o p le an h o u r,
d e p e n d in g on th e n ig h t. T h e
picketers have asked the custom ers
w hether o r not they approve o f the
movies we show. The reply is yes, I
can p u t it in m y liv in g ro o m and
save the $4.50.”
